Chapter 130: Providing Medicinal Herbs Free of Charge!

Page 1/3

Anlan teased lightly, her gaze shifting as she looked at Ye Wushang. Before coming today, she had only been curious about how he would play this game. Deep down, she didn’t really believe he could handle it. But who would have guessed that he actually knew Xue Kaichen—and their relationship was absurdly close? When Xue Kaichen approached him, bowing low with a humble demeanor, to be honest, she was stunned!

Talent.
Courage.
And connections that reached the heavens.

In this regard, even she felt inferior. Her admiration for him only grew.

“Ye Wushang, what exactly are you trying to do?!”

Facing Anlan’s warning, Pei Qinghu understood the situation perfectly. With Xue Kaichen backing Ye Wushang now, it would be unwise to confront this “waste” any further. He lowered his tone and temporarily conceded.

“It’s simple—just two things,” Ye Wushang said, holding up two fingers. “First, aren’t you eager to get back the IOU?”

“Fine, I’ll shorten the deadline—from the three days we agreed on to tomorrow.”

“And the amount? From fifty million to eighty million…”

“What? Eighty million!”

Pei Qinghu’s eyes widened. “Ye Wushang, don’t go too far!”

“Raising the price like this—thirty million more in a blink of an eye! You!”

“If you don’t agree, I’ll terminate all dealings between Yao Wang Pharmaceuticals and the Pei family!”

“More than that, as you said, you’ll join forces with others in the industry to blacklist the Pei family. As long as Yao Wang Pharmaceuticals doesn’t give the nod, you won’t get a single cent’s worth of medicine in Jinghan City!”

Before he finished, Xue Kaichen, who understood the situation, immediately took over, threatening sternly.

Pei Qinghu instantly backed down. Although eighty million stung, compared to the Pei family’s business, he could only bear it silently.

“Alright, I agree. Eighty million, delivered by tomorrow!”

“Good.”

Ye Wushang patted his cheek playfully. “The second thing is much simpler.”

“Aren’t you good with words? Fine, everyone here, one by one—each of you will slap his face!”

“Once that’s done, you’re free to leave, and the business between the Pei family and Yao Wang Pharmaceuticals won’t be affected at all.”

Hearing this, Pei Qinghu was furious.

He hadn’t expected this “waste” to be so ruthless—asking for so much money and then demanding everyone slap him. One by one.

There were at least sixty or seventy people here. After a round of slaps, would he even survive?

Moreover, he was the eldest son of the Pei family, with high status and power. If this got out, how could he face anyone in the future?

“Ye Wushang, we don’t have much grudge between us.”

“There’s no need to take things so seriously. How about we discuss this properly…”

“No discussion!”

Ye Wushang’s expression turned cold. “These are the hard conditions.”

“Either you agree, or I’ll terminate the cooperation between the Pei family and Yao Wang Pharmaceuticals. The choice is yours!”

With that, Ye Wushang released his grip and stood up.

At that moment, Lan Ruoxue, who had just realized what was happening, stepped forward, tugging on his sleeve quietly. “Wushang, let it go.”

“Be merciful where possible. They’ve already agreed to pay eighty million. If you still make everyone slap him, won’t that just escalate the conflict?”

“He’s the eldest son of the Pei family. If they retaliate seriously, even if you don’t think of yourself, you have to think of Wu You, right?”

Her words were truly out of concern for Ye Wushang. Of course, she also worried that the Pei family might become so ruthless as to drag in the Lan family.

To be honest, seeing Xue Kaichen show such respect towards him had truly shaken her.

Now, thinking back to when he was on the phone in the car, constantly calling out to “Kaichen,” she’d thought it was someone else or that he was putting on a show.

But it turned out to be real.

Suddenly, she found herself unable to fully understand him. After three years of knowing him, she thought she knew him well, but now he felt strangely unfamiliar.

“If the Pei family wants to take revenge on me, I’m ready anytime.”

“But if they lay a finger on my sister, I’ll make them regret ever coming into this world.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can try.”

Ye Wushang snorted coldly, pulling his hand away and glancing at Pei Qinghu.

Pei Qinghu was uneasy but understood—if he didn’t agree to this “waste’s” demands today, he might not survive this ordeal.

Forced to relent, he gritted his teeth. “Fine, I agree.”

“Come on then, slap away!”

He lifted his head proudly and shut his eyes.

“I’ll go first!”

Ye Wushang smiled lightly and delivered a heavy slap across his face!

The powerful strike twisted Pei Qinghu’s mouth instantly, blood trickling from the corner.

Then, one by one, Xue Kaichen, Anlan, and the other security guards and onlookers stepped forward.

Willing or unwilling, each person dealt a slap of varying force.

Sixty or seventy people.

It lasted nearly twenty minutes.

Finally, after Lan Ruoxue gently touched Pei Qinghu’s cheek, with a thud, he collapsed to the ground, bruised and bloodied, trembling weakly.

“Mr. Xue, please send Young Master Hu to the hospital immediately for a proper checkup—make sure he doesn’t die.”

“Also, terminate all cooperation with the Pei family.”

“In my opinion, a company with questionable character will only damage Yao Wang Pharmaceuticals’ reputation.”

Ye Wushang looked toward Xue Kaichen.

Upon hearing this, Pei Qinghu gathered his remaining strength and glared at Ye Wushang. “Ye, Ye Wushang, you’re shameless!”

“You promised not to cancel the cooperation between the two families. How can you go back on your word?”

“You’re untrustworthy!”

Ye Wushang replied indifferently, “To gentlemen, I am a man of my word.”

“To scoundrels, so-called trust is worth nothing.”

“Go get treated properly. Once you’re better, you’re welcome to come back and take revenge.”

“But next time, it won’t just be a few bruises.”

With that, he turned and walked back into the main hall.

...

At the penthouse office.

“Mr. Ye, rest assured, I’ve already instructed that the Pei family’s business be terminated immediately.”

“From now on, there will be no further dealings with them.”

After handing Ye Wushang a cup of tea, Xue Kaichen poured one for Lan Ruoxue. “Sister-in-law, here’s some tea.”

“Huh?”

Anlan, just about to drink, frowned.

Lan Ruoxue also looked awkward and reminded, “We’re already divorced—no relation at all.”

“Right, they are only business partners now. You shouldn’t call me sister-in-law.”

Anlan pursed her lips but then leaned closer to Ye Wushang, gently tugging his arm to show affection.

Xue Kaichen felt embarrassed and apologized to Anlan, “Sorry, sister-in-law, wrong person…”

Anlan didn’t deny it; instead, she looked quite pleased.

But Lan Ruoxue was displeased again and warned, “Though Wushang and I have divorced, he also works with Mr. An.”

“He’s basically the supervisor sent by the An family to the Lan Group, Mr. Xue, so please watch your words.”

“Ah?”

Xue Kaichen was completely baffled.

Earlier, he had already learned that Ye Wushang had several women around him.

No matter who, calling someone sister-in-law seemed appropriate.

But now, one denies the other, yet both maintain close ties with Ye Wushang, leaving him at a loss.

“Enough, let’s get to business.”

The tangled web aside, Ye Wushang withdrew his arm and stood up.

He had no intention of remarrying Lan Ruoxue, nor did he want excessive involvement with Anlan.

“Mr. Xue, the main reason we’re here is to discuss a medicinal herb partnership with your company.”

“To put it simply, you provide the herbs used in health supplements, and we will buy them at twice the market price.”

“Moreover, this isn’t a one-time deal; we require a long-term, stable supply. That’s not a problem, right?”

Ye Wushang smiled at Xue Kaichen.

Xue Kaichen was stunned. The company was essentially his now; any cooperation was his call.

Seeing Ye Wushang’s knowing look, he nodded. “Of course, no problem.”

“Putting aside that you’re my mentor,”

“I know the An family is powerful and capable in business operations. Maintaining this cooperation would be a blessing.”

“Also, I hear that the Lan family’s R&D department is full of elites. Having them produce new medicines with our herbs would also serve as advertising for Yao Wang Pharmaceuticals.”

“A three-way strong alliance—I have no objections.”

Hearing this, Anlan was overjoyed. “Thank you, Mr. Xue.”

“Don’t worry, we will pay twice the market price...”

“Twice?”

Xue Kaichen frowned.

Lan Ruoxue immediately said, “If that’s not enough, we can go triple—whatever amount you want.”

“No, no, no. What I mean is, provide the herbs free of charge.”

“What?!”

Both women were shocked and stood up simultaneously.

Only Ye Wushang sat back down calmly.

Though Xue Kaichen was sometimes awkward with words, he was quite sharp here—he understood Ye Wushang’s meaning.

“Yes, free of charge.”

“This is both a favor to Mr. Ye and a desire for deep cooperation between our companies.”

“I’m providing convenience now, and if we need help down the road, I hope you will be generous in return.”

Hearing this, the two women exchanged looks, their expressions changed.

They understood clearly—Ye Wushang was willing to cooperate and provide the herbs free of charge, purely out of respect for him.

What kind of relationship they shared remained unknown.

But Ye Wushang’s abilities were indeed stronger than they had imagined.

“Alright, Mr. Xue, whenever your company faces difficulties in the future, the An family will offer assistance free of charge,” Anlan nodded.

Lan Ruoxue also smiled happily. “The Lan family feels the same. Here’s to a pleasant cooperation.”

Raising their cups of tea in a toast, the four clinked glasses.

Afterward, Ye Wushang and Xue Kaichen stayed in the office to discuss some private matters.

Anlan and Lan Ruoxue left the office to wait outside.

Just as they stepped out, Anlan gave a charming smile and teased, “So, Miss Lan, do you still remember our previous agreement?”
